If you're a midstate resident who keeps a prestigious blog, if you are restoring a vintage car or if you have launched a community program, we want to know about your project! Is it interesting? Is it unique? Strange? Big? Small? In between?

Working on one project, of course, can lead to out-of-control inspiration. New Cumberland couple Lisa Bennett and Jay Johnson created Cathawk Industries to update the photo booth as a vital party element. As the energy of their photographic work hints, however, it is but one means by which Bennett and Johnson channel their creative energy.

In 2000, Jay Johnson left his hometown of Dillsburg for the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, where he meditated twice daily and studied film and video. When he started his own digital media business to keep working on web and video design, the inspiration to create art never ceased. After some jetting between Iowa and L.A., he was the subject of a 2009 David Lynch Foundation video. Those familiar with the singular aesthetic of David Lynch can see what the acclaimed director sees in Johnson: his animation is unsettling and ecstatic. Here are two of his most recent videos: the animated "Space Journey" and multi-technique music video (and Lynch homage) "I Am the Arm and I Sound Like This" for Harrisburg area band Slobulus.
